Duda & Mejia join Mets after loss
The Bisons have been a comeback team all season. With only seven games left in the 2010 regular season, the Herd will have to show that same moxie if they want to keep playing past Labor Day.
With only a week left, the Bisons are now down four games in the race for the International League Wild Card race following a 6-4 defeat to Syracuse on Tuesday night in front of 14,118 at Coca-Cola Field.
The Bisons have lost four straight, while Columbus has now leap-frogged Louisville for the lead in the IL West. The Herd now trails the Bats, not the Clippers, for the final post season spot.
Buffalo had early leads of 3-0 and 4-2 thanks to the long ball. Nick Evans launched a missile three-run homer in the first inning. Justin Turner followed with a solo shot in the third inning after the Chiefs had closed to within 3-2.
But Syracuse kept coming, scoring a run in the fifth inning before taking a 5-4 lead with two runs in the top of the sixth. Seth Bynum tied it with a two-out RBI-double. Carlos Maldonado gave the Chiefs the lead when he singled home Bynum.
The game wasn't without a little controversy. With Buffalo holding onto the 4-3 lead and one out in the fifth inning, Turner singled to right field and Jesus Feliciano tried to go first to third on the play. Feliciano was initially called safe, but after Chiefs manager Trent Jewett came out to argue the call, the three-man umpiring crew gathered and reversed the call on the base paths.
That brought on the ire of Herd skipper Ken Oberkfell, who raced out to argue on his team's behalf. However, the call remained and instead of runners on first and third and one out with Lucas Duda at the plate, the Bisons slugger hit with just one runner on and two out.
On the hill, Fernando Nieve suffered the loss, his first losing decision in 11 career starts with the Bisons. The righty allowed five runs on 10 hits in six innings of work.
BISONS NOTES:In his second game back from a knee injury, Justin Turner went 3-3 with two runs scored, a double and a home run…Lucas Duda also finished the game with three hits, going 3-4 with a double and a runs scored…Following the game the Mets promoted Lucas Duda and Jenrry Mejia to New York.

L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion Mascara Does the Trick
Honestly, there is a new mascara put on the market about every five seconds, don't you think? It's almost impossible to keep up with all of them.
However, one that stands out is the new L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara, and one of the reasons it does is the funky new brush it has - it's like a spiky ball!
If you've been around the makeup scene, you'll know this isn't necessarily a new concept. Givenchy did this earlier in the year with their Phenomen Eyes mascara, although I never got a chance to lay my hands on that one.
However, the L'Oreal version will be available in just about every mass retailer in November, and the suggested price of $9.99 certainly won't break the bank. It delivers amazing volume, doesn't clump, and the formula lasts - no smearing, smudging, or otherwise encouraging that racoon eye look by the end of the day.
There is a bit of a learning curve with the spiky ball applicator, but you'll get the hang of it quickly. I highly recommend at least playing around with this mascara - it may become one of your go-to items. It certainly has for me.

Oh, Hai! Yes, I'm Still Alive - Don't Give Up On Me Yet!
Welcome to the new digs! I know I've been absent for just about an eternity, but let me tell you, it's been crazy! I managed to catch the flu while attending NYFW, dealt with that for a week, then ended up with a bonus case of pneumonia! So, mostly I've been sleeping, which is good. Unfortunately, I haven't been posting, which is bad, but here I am! Ready to get the party started.
So, while I've been getting myself well, I've made a few changes to the old blog. What do you think? Everything from the title to the graphics has changed, and I'm loving it. And get yourself ready for a ton of beauty posts - I met some incredible people and did some incredible things in NYC last month, and I'm working on sharing all of it with you!

This is an assignment given for an AP Computer Science Course, please help! My idea for the class was Body Systems, objects will be body systems. Here are the requirements given:
ou will be designing a class that will demonstrate a variety of the topics discussed in the first three sections of chapter 4, including all of the basic elements of a class and overloading.
Your class must include the following:
-At least 3 pieces of instance data of different types
-At least 2 constructors.
- accessor methods for all of your instance data
- 2 additional service methods
- 1 support methods,
Note: Each item listed above must be labeled with comments. For example, comments for one of the constructors might look like...
// Constructor #1 that uses no parameters
- Include a driver program to demonstrate that your class works as stated. In other words, you must show evidence that all constructors, service methods, and overloaded methods work as designed.
I'm not sure I'm doing my methods correctly, and I'm not really understanding the concept of what a support method is supposed to do in regards to my class. Please help.
public class BodySystems { //Instance Data public String name; //Name of System public String purpose; //Purpose of System public boolean transport; //Y/N Involves transport of material in/out of body public String nameorg; //Name of organs public int organs; //# of Major Organs //Constructor #1 public BodySystems(String name1, int organs1, String nameorg1) // What System, What Organs { name = name1; organs = organs1; nameorg = nameorg1; } //Constructor #2 public BodySystems(String purpose1, boolean transport1) // Purpose, Y/N Involves transport of material in/out of body { purpose = purpose1; transport = transport1; } //Accessor Methods public String get_name() { return name; } public String get_purpose() { return purpose; } public boolean get_transport() { return transport; } public int get_organs() { return organs; } public String get_nameorg() { return nameorg; } //Method #1 (Support) private void whatSystem(int system) { for (system=1; system <= 7; system++) if(system == 1) name = "Skeletal System"; else if (system == 2) name = "Muscular System"; else if (system == 3) name = "Cardiovascular System"; else if (system == 4) name = "Digestive System"; else if (system == 5) name = "Nervous System"; else if (system == 6) name = "Respiratory System"; else if (system == 2) name = "Urinary System"; } //Method #2 (Service) public String systemInfo() { get_name(); get_purpose(); return systemInfo(); } //Method #3 (Service) }

The stat-tracking, community-driven Call of Duty: Elite is still missing in action. Problems have continued to plague the free and premium versions. It's still broken.
Previously, Elite's developers stated in a now-erased tweet that it "cannot guarantee if or when a version will be available for the PC."
Now, it looks like there will be a PC version after all. According to the game's official Twitter, "We misspoke. Our goal has always been to provide a free PC offering for ELITE. Stay tuned for an update as timing is still being determined."
One day. One day Elite will work. And then one day it will be on the PC. Maybe.

Fixing Ruby Munoz's heart
UC Davis Children's Hospital physicians help patient with critical aortic stenosis
When Ruby Munoz was 6 weeks old, she was lethargic, vomiting and not eating well. Her sister, Scarlett, had just gotten over the flu. Her parents, Aaron and Hayleigh Munoz of Elk Grove, thought it must be another case of the flu.
Ruby had otherwise been a normal and healthy baby. There was nothing out of the ordinary about her health, apart from a heart murmur that doctors detected soon after she was born – but it had vanished by her two-week check-up.
Hayleigh and Aaron brought Ruby to the emergency room at their local hospital and she was transported to UC Davis Children's Hospital to be monitored for dehydration. Doctors soon discovered there was something seriously wrong with her heart.
Preparing for surgery
A cardiac echo confirmed her diagnosis: critical aortic stenosis, with severe ventricular dysfunction.
"There are very few centers that would have been able to respond as rapidly as we did. We felt strongly that if we didn't do something to relieve the pressure on her left ventricle, she wouldn't get better."
— Gary Raff
Her left ventricle was being overworked as it tried to to move blood through her aortic valve, which was too small. It had impacted her heart, lungs, kidneys and liver. The heart murmur that doctors heard at birth – the result of a turbulent blood flow across the heart valve – couldn't be heard at her two-week appointment because her condition had weakened her heart and decreased its blood flow.
"There are very few centers that would have been able to respond as rapidly as we did," said Gary Raff, pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon at UC Davis Children's Hospital. "We felt strongly that if we didn't do something to relieve the pressure on her left ventricle, she wouldn't get better."
As doctors were rushing to put her on an extra-corporeal life support device called ECMO, she suffered cardiac arrest.
"It was overwhelming initially and terrifying those first few days. Those were some dark days for us. We didn't know if she was going to make it to the next day," said Hayleigh Munoz.
Raff performed Ruby's Ross Konno operation, replacing her aortic valve with her pulmonary valve. A donor pulmonary valve was used to replace her pulmonary valve. The surgery saved her life.
Ruby's recovery
Ruby was able to come off of the ECMO device soon after the surgery, which was the best possible outcome. As she recovered from surgery, her doctors worked to repair her organs and ensure that they were functioning properly again.
Video with Ruby's parents and Dr. Gary Raff on Ruby's condition
"The doctors really took the time to answer our questions and explain everything in layman's terms. The nursing staff was there for Ruby as well as our whole family. They made sure Hayleigh and I got fresh air outside every day and brought toys and books to Scarlett when she would visit," said Aaron Munoz. "I couldn't have asked for a better place."
With Scarlett at home and Hayleigh and Aaron Munoz taking turns at the hospital, Aaron Munoz spent weeks dreaming of the day that Ruby was healthy again and that his family could all be back at home under the same roof. More than eight weeks later, they brought home Ruby – just days before Christmas.
"It was a really happy homecoming," said Aaron Munoz. "We wished and dreamed for the day for so long. I can't tell you how great it was to have Ruby feeling well again, back at home."

The newest Ram 1500 is the perfect truck for those jacks of all trades out there. It is just as capable at towing carpentry equipment from site to site as it serving as your daily driver. If you are looking for a vehicle that is sturdier than most but still has some tough exterior charm, we here at Eide Chrysler highly recommend the new 2018 1500.
It is important to be able to tailor your new vehicle to meet the needs of your busy lifestyle, and that is why Ram has given you so many choices with the 1500. In regard to the cab size, you have the option of going with the Regular cab (paired with either a 6 foot 4-inch bed or an 8-foot bed), the Quad cab (6 foot 4-inch bed), or the Crew cab (5 foot 7-inch bed or 6 foot 4-inch bed). If you require extra room in the cab for passengers or just the items you haul with you for work, the Crew cab is probably your best choice. The Quad and Regular cab are smaller, but still provide you with plenty of legroom for your passengers, ensuring that nobody ever feels cramped. The choice of pickup bed size is obviously dependent on whether you frequently haul cargo and require the extra room, and by allowing you to mix and match the cab and bed sizes to a degree, Ram is ensuring that you are getting the vehicle that you need most.
The 1500 is all about utility, and to that end you can outfit the exterior with a number of things that will often come in handy. The RamBox Cargo Management System gives you four adjustable tie-down cleats and cargo bed rails so that you can easily secure whatever it is you are hauling in the truck bed. In addition, you get a cargo bed extender, making it much easier (and safer) to haul things that are long enough that you have to leave the tailgate down. A cargo divider lets you separate items to prevent damage and to improve organization, and lighting for the cargo box means that you will not have to search in vain for something in the dark. In order to make it easier to get to the truck bed, the available wheel-to-wheel side steps give you a leg up while also improving the truck's aerodynamics. To protect the bed from dents, scratches, or rust, you can opt for either a spray-in liner or drop-in bedliner.
Ram does not skimp when it comes to performance, either, and that is why the new 1500 is no joke under the hood. There are three different engine choices available, including the 5.7 liter (L) Hemi V8 that will get you 395 horsepower (hp), 410 pound-feet (lb-ft) of torque, 15 miles per gallon (mpg) driving the streets of Bismarck ND, and 22 mpg while on the highway. The 3.5 L Pentastar V6 engine provides you with 305 hp, 269 lb-ft of torque, 17 mpg in the city, and 25 mpg highway driving. If you want to run with a diesel engine, you have the option of the 3.0 L Ecodiesel V6 that puts out 240 hp, 420 lb-ft of torque and nets you 21 mpg city driving and 29 mpg while driving on Bismarck ND highways.
Ram's 2018 1500 is as versatile as a truck can get. It is not made for just one job; instead, it can excel at anything that comes your way. Regardless of whether you are looking for a workhorse or a truck for the family, the new 1500 has the right material for the job.

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Worst day for vehicles slamming into buildings: July 31, when a auto driver smashes into Millmont Grille, NBC29 reports, and a tractor trailer jettisons off I-81 and crashes into an empty dorm at James Madison University in Harrisonburg.
Worst night for vehicles slamming into roofs: A stolen vehicle chased by police goes airborne at the T-intersection of Rugby Road around 2:30am August 7 and hits the roof of a garage and a house before flipping to a stop at the bottom of the hill. Police are seeking the driver, who somehow survived and fled the scene.
Worst day for trains slamming into vehicles: Win Maung, 35, allegedly misses the road and ends up stuck on the train tracks August 7 at Farmington Drive. A Buckingham Branch engine pushes his 2000 Ford Focus 100 feet. Maung is charged with failure to maintain control and having no license.
Worst hit and run (without hitting a building): Probation officer Rachael Ann Rossman, 23, is charged for allegedly running a red light and slamming into and totaling a cop car July 20, then driving away, the Progress reports.
Most appalling lobbying: A firm called Bonner and Associates sends forged letters against the cap and trade bill purporting to be from legitimate minority organizations– Creciendo Juntos and the NAACP– to Congressman Tom Perriello in June. Brian McNeill at the Progress has the story, which goes national, and a Congressional investigation is in the works.
Most ironic postal news: Montpelier opens its duPont-built, newly renovated P.O. August 4 on the heels of word that the U.S. Postal Service will close 19 post offices in Virginia and Charlottesville's processing center could be shuttered.
Most police manpower for fewest traffic violators: Five Albemarle County cops conduct a safety checkpoint August 6 for two hours in Crozet at Railroad Avenue and Lanetown Road, according to a release. Of the 247 motorists who are stopped, 19 are issued summons, eight of which are for inspection violations.
Most debatable Charlottesville School Board proposal: A photograph of President Barack Obama in every school is the brain-child of board member Juandiego Wade, Brandon Shulleeta reports in the Progress.
Most tragic camp-out: Albemarle resident and Eagle Scout Christopher William Murray, 20, dies August 7 from a fire at Camp Shenandoah in Augusta County that investigators say he intentionally set.
Cruelest casualties of church building: Twelve low-income families left at Sleepy Hollow Trailer Park on U.S. 250 will be evicted by the end of the year to make way for construction of Faith Christian Center International's new facility on the 10-acre property, NBC29 reports.
Worst statistic: In Virginia, 1.03 million people– 15.5 percent– have no health insurance, while Charlottesville has 24.7 percent uncovered, according to 2006 U.S. Census Bureau numbers.
Worst designated driver plan: An 11-year-old Crimora boy crashes his father's car and sends four people to the hospital February 21 when Michael W. Powell, 31, decides he's had too much to drink, the News Virginian reports. Another parent, Kelly L. Scott, 30, pleads guilty to felony child endangerment August 10 for taking her seven-year-old son along for the ride.
Best false alarm: A package delivered to Wilson Hall at UVA August 6 makes a woman ill and the building is evacuated, but the alleged biohazard stems from her reaction to glue on the box.
Best bus buy: Charlottesville Transit System drops the price of a day pass from $2 to $1.50 and monthly passes are available for $20.
Fruitiest: If 350 people sign up, vegetarians in Virginia can get their own license plates.

Worst statistic: In Virginia, 1.03 million people-- 15.5 percent-- have no health insurance, while Charlottesville has 24.7 percent uncovered, according to 2006 U.S. Census Bureau numbers.
Ok so lets insure them on the public dole.. it would only come out to about 1500 bucks for every man woman and child (who is insured) to cough up.
Of course if we don't make the kids, the elderly and the disabled contriburte then it comes out to about 4k per working person... surely they can afford that...
except the ones who are at or below the poverty level.. so lets not make them contribute...
That would bring it up to about 6 k for the rest of us...
Surely we can cut back on the cavier and only take the yacht out twice a week instead of three times...
I wonder how many of those unisured have cell phones cable, designer clothes, go to DMB concerts at 80 bucks a pop, drive cars they bought new, have nice laptops etc?
Willowwall, just because an individual can't afford $800 a month for health insurance doesn't mean they have to give up everything in their life.
I guess you don't think they should buy a soda if they can't afford health insurance.
It's also about priorities in life. $800 a month for health insurance is $9,600 a year. That $9,600 a year can buy the person a car to get to and from work so they can feed and house their family. So let's see, what the choices? They can have health insurance and sleep under a bridge in a cardboard box, or they can provide food and shelter for their family. Can you understand now why Obama sees the need for reform in health care for this country?
"Willowwall, just because an individual can't afford $800 a month for health insurance doesn't mean they have to give up everything in their life.
I guess you don't think they should buy a soda if they can't afford health insurance."
This one point is a good one though. Health insurance aside, I've thought this same exact thing too many times to count. There you see some poor ghetto-y person ridin' the bus...with the cell phone pressed to their ear. There you are listening to some poor person....talking about this or that television show they watched courtesy of their cable bill. Or they're on the poor side, but they're driving a nice newer car that they're making payments on. Etc.
So no, it's not about "buying a soda," it's about why in the world do these supposedly poor people have all these completely unnecessary expenses in life? I'm not even technically poor, and yet I don't have cable. Don't have a cell phone. My car is a '93, bought used, totally paid off. I don't have a lot of the monthly expenses that other people have - both rich and poor. And it enables me to pocket a lot more money every month than I would otherwise.
It's a separate topic really. I'm not arguing it from the standpoint of "don't have these expenses so you can then afford healthcare," rather, I'm saying it just to vent on a slightly off topic but related subject that peeves me. :D If you're poor then lay off the unnecessary expenses. (And don't have kids you can't afford!! just thought I'd toss that one in there.)
The Government already takes care of people without health care as eER's are not allowed to deny people.
That being said.. most people can learn to take care of 90% of their medical needs by using google and a little common sense. Doctors were expensive 40 years ago and health care was a rarity.
I don't care what obama "thinks" as he has shown that he is an idiot when it comes to balancing social issues and a thriving economy.
Nobody.. even the rush libowels of the world think that no reform is nessasary.. most of us just think that it is wrong to screw with the functioning 85% who have health insurance in order to accomodate the 15% that don't (20% who are here illegally)(35% who could afford it but don't) and 99% who can probably survive another year until a better plan comes along.
Not true, Thomas Pain. More and more citizens are losing their jobs and benefits. Most after 20, 30 and 35 years on the job. They travel home one day with nothing more than termination slip. And since they may still own their homes, cars, boats, furniture and whatever, they are not eligible for free health care in any emergency room. Many people are losing everything they have ever owned to major hospital bills.
The days of losing a good job with great benefits, and replacing said job with comparable salary and benefits are over forever.
America's on tilt now and to get helth care you have to have a job that give's it to you. I had health care once it cost me 100 dollars a month and I was 20 so I guess it's really expencive when your young or becouse you might get by one of th crazy driver out there. Please don't tell my car insurence people about this week.
I'm one of the uninsured living in the greater Charlottesville area and I've never owned a cell phone, bought designer clothes, a DMB ticket or a laptop. My car is 19 years old. Any more questions?

New & Used Cars for Sale in Frisco, TX
Welcome to Stonebriar Chevy, your authorized Texas Chevy dealership serving Plano, Garland, and Grapevine. We are excited about the new inventory that we have and the diverse options that are now available at our dealership. And thanks to a steady supply of previously leased vehicles and quality trade-ins, we are attracting interest from all over the region for the quality of our used autos.
Benefits of Buying New & Used Cars
We all know that late-model vehicles are attractive for their sleek styling, innovative safety features, and SmartPhone-compatible infotainment systems. But what is really attractive is the overall comfort of the driving experience. The wide selection of new and used vehicles at our Chevy dealership all have crisp handling, sharp acceleration, and excellent braking capabilities. They are a true pleasure to open up on the highway or to cruise around town in. You will be glad that you upgraded when you see how much easier your life is.
An aging vehicle is just a money pit. As it starts to deteriorate, you will be faced with repair bills that easily add up over time. And because many parts may be on their way out, you will pay even more when you do the repairs piecemeal. When you consider how easy it is to finance a new vehicle or a used vehicle in like-new condition, it seems irrational to roll the dice with an aging model, anticipating breakdowns or major repair bills at every turn.
Quality New & Used Cars
We are certain that the quality of our brand-new and used cars are exceptional when compared to those on the private market. This is because our factory-certified technicians put a lot of time into inspecting all vehicles and even reconditioning the used cars before sale. Because our goal is long-term customer retention and satisfaction, our technicians do everything possible to ensure your safety and pleasure when you drive the vehicle.
Please contact us or stop by for a test-drive when you are ready to get out of that money pit. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get a good trade-in price. Don't hesitate any longer. Low monthly financing payments and upgraded technology beat unpredictable repair bills any day of the week.

Chicken shops are proving so popular on the high street that they were one of only three store types, along with pet shops and gyms, to see more openings than closures in the last six months, according to new research.
Our insatiable appetite for online shopping also meant more clothes and fashion shops shut down than any other category, accountancy giant PwC and the Local Data Company found.
The new data uncovered that a net 1,234 chain stores closed in the first half of 2019 – the highest net closure rate since PwC and LDC started records in 2010.
A total of 2,868 stores closed over the period, with 1,634 stores opening.
During that time, several retailers sought to close stores or reduce rents through insolvency processes known as company voluntary agreements (CVAs), including Arcadia and Debenhams.
Other retailers, such as LK Bennett, Pretty Green and Coast, went bust.
But researchers uncovered that takeaways, and chicken shops in particular, have been opening in significant numbers, with independent businessmen and women keen to fill vacant high street space.
Kien Tan, a research director at PwC, said: "Even if big chains aren't opening, local businesses are.
"Local entrepreneurs know their local market and know where the demand is. That's why they are willing to take that risk."
He also pointed out that although it would appear that chains are opening, the vast majority of these are operated by franchisees.
Zelf Hussain, retail restructuring partner at PwC, added: "A number of high profile business administrations have contributed to the record net decline in high street store numbers.
"This reinforces our view that any business restructuring needs to happen alongside a wider programme of change."
Regionally, London was hardest hit, with the biggest number of net closures, with the East Midlands, North East, South East and Yorkshire and the Humber the only regions to see a fall in net closures compared with the final six months of 2018.
There were some signs of growth, with the number of units opening – 1,634 – beating the 1,569 in the first half of 2018, with the LDC suggesting this is a sign of cyclical change rather than long-term decline.
Lucy Stainton, head of retail at the LDC, said: "The reality is that UK retail space will continue to look very different over the coming years, and this is demonstrated by the sheer number of stores opening and closing on an ongoing basis."
The biggest number of closures by category were fashion retailers, pubs and bars, restaurants, estate agents and charity shops, while the largest number of openings were fashion retailers, charity shops, convenience grocery stores and takeaways.
Lisa Hooker, consumer markets leader at PwC, added: "The good news is that there are green shoots, as new entrants are entering even embattled sectors such as fashion.
"Our research tells us that consumers still want to spend their money in well located and invested stores and leisure venues on the high street."

A big Thank You to all who contributed to the garage sale. And a Special THANK YOU to all those who helped out. Especially Joan and Harry who were here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday while fitting in family events. We really appreciated all the donations and all the shopping done by members of the group. The RPCV banner attracted past volunteers who are not regulars in the group and "host country nationals" who are living or studying here. For the important part: We made more than double our previous sales.
Again Thank You to all.

10 school districts chosen to shape teacher evaluation system
Calling it another step to "fix what's broken in our public schools," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Monday announced which school districts will test out a much-debated plan to grade teacher performance that will soon be mandatory for every teacher in the state.
A total of 10 applicants - both individual school districts and consortia of districts -were chosen to pilot the new teacher and principal evaluation system under the state's recently passed education reform package.
Districts in the pilot are: Bethany, Orange and Woodbridge; Branford; Bridgeport; Capitol Region Education Council (CREC); Columbia, Eastford, Franklin and Sterling; Litchfield and Region 6; Norwalk; Waterford; Windham; and Windsor.
What happens in those districts in the coming school year will be closely watched, since their successes and failures will help shape a new statewide evaluation plan starting in the fall of 2013.

Post subject: Winter Fireplace Cooking
My sense of thrift overtook, after a week of watching the dying back of the evening woodfires my husband was stoking up every night for warmth last week -- a bed of beautiful even heat. Apart for Girl Scout camping, I had no clue what to attempt, so tried simple jacket sweet potatoes, double wrapped in foil. I laid them across the grates, and just went to bed. Voila, in the morning, these sweets were beautifully cooked and a wonder of texture...soft, juicy and really more tasty than oven baking due to slight smokiness from the embers. We ate them for breakfast...great on a cold morning. The next night, encouraged with a bit hotter fire, I threw together a dutch over (using my bright greet Cuisinart kettle with lid, rubbed with liquid soap a la Scouts to prevent permanent blackening in the fire) of pork chops, floated on a bed of onions and white wine, and seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper. This should have been a simple but beautiful thing by morning, and it certainly smelled good - but the unregulated fire had it's way with the chops, which got too dried out, and the onions were singed black -- so NOT a success unfortunately. Maybe if the dish had been given just a couple hours instead of overnight. Anyway, in this time of economy, why not?? Anybody have any experience or new/old uses of cooking in the fireplace??

When I lwas in college in Colorado, a group of us would stay at a cabin near a local ski area - VERRRRRRRY RUSTIC! No light, heat or water - just a roof over our heads and a fireplace. I hauled a cast iron dutch oven up each weekend and we would cook our dinner over the fire - to be eaten BEFORE bed. We had a variety of soups and stews - depending on what everyone brought up with them. Often, we would empty the pot into bowls and I'd throw in a batch of biscuits (not cookies) which would be done in time to sop up the end of the dish we were eating! YUM!
I actually was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago when we had a fire in the fireplace. We had the combination of cold weather and adequate wind (we have a "Spare the Air"law in California and you can't burn wood fires on days with an inversion or no wind.) and I was tempted to cook over thie fire - but didn't.
So keep experimenting, Smartie. When the fire is very hot, you may need to set the pot off to the side. We usually let it burn down a bit before we cooked the meal - and had happy hour and hors d'oeuvres (beer and chips!) while we warmed up a bit.

Some things do lend themselves to long, overnight cooking. Baked beans come immediately to mind. And things like braises can be done by setting the tightly lidded pot in the banked fire.
But, by and large, when cooking on an open fire, just think of it as your heat source. You can cook directly over flames when there is a lot of liquid involved, or when "broiling" meats and the like. Or work over coals, for other things. Or hearth cook, using Dutch ovens, spiders, and the like and raking coals out of the firebox as necessary.
But at least you're on the right track.
Two weeks ago, when we were suffering a climate disaster (an ice storm, followed by freezing rain, followed by up to 6 inches of snow), with no electricity, no phones, and no hope, I really was appaled at some people's inability to cope.
One lady called the local radio. With the power out, they were heating the place by using their fireplace nonstop. "So," she said plaintively, "while we're able to stay warm,
we haven't had a hot meal in four days.
Somebody's been burning wood steadily for four days, and can't figure out how to make a hot meal? Is the American pioneer spirit really that dead?

That truly is sad KY---shows a distinct lack of imagination if nothing more. Even Dick and I, during the "great ice storm of 1998" managed reasonably well boiling and frying and such, and great foil wrapped baked potatoes for the many days we were without power, just using the wood stove, which is designed for heating only really, not for cooking. Nothing too inventive but we got by without any real trouble! I mean heck they could have just opened a tin of beans and heated them!

She was obviously never a Girl Scout, we learned at a young age how to cook with fire. At the very least a packet of campfire potatoes can be done. Shoot, give me a fire place and I'll give you roasted skewers of Nigerian Fire Sticks, with all that chilie you won't need to bundle.

Nuthin' wrong with bundling, Erin, with or without a good meal first.
My first thought when I heard that call-in was how much effort would it have taken to put a pot of soup over the fire? I mean, this isn't rocket science. It's just cooking.
But the sad fact is, we've raised 2 1/2 generations now who confuse microwaving with cooking. And that's the real problem.

Ummm... Weenie. Stick. Ketchup. Bag of marshmallows... Hello!!!
Nutritionally complete if you ask me.
We had the same issue with our week of frozen hell coming down sideways at 60 mph this Xmas. We did sweet potatoes over the fire as well.
I only had one caution from the family doc who cautioned me against cooking open foods over actually flaming conifer wood due to some sort of chemical contaminant mumbo jumbo (probably why most smoking is done over hard wood, I suppose).
All said, once the flames and smoke died, it was open season.
My cousin got 8 feet of snow at his place in Evergreen Colorado one year. Got snowed in. Used his gas fireplace to heat up cans of soup and his body at the same time. How hard is that???

Softwoods (i.e., conifers) produce an inordinate amount of creosote and other chemical byproducts when they burn. That's why they are so sooty. And why they're not recommended for fireplaces and most wood stoves (can lead to chimney fires).
Creosote contains carcinagens and other stuff not good for humans to injest. And it tastes like crap when it condenses on foods.
Besides which, softwoods burn very quickly, and leave little behind in the form of usable coals.
So, those are the reasons not to burn them.
But if that's all you have, and it's a question of survival, you do what you have to do.

I've never cooked over a fire, well anything except a barbecue and some toasted marshmallows (as a kid) but I'd definitely try it. My fireplace isn't big enough for a large pot but I could roast some potatoes, maybe cook up some chops, or even a stew so I'm going to try it out. Granted we don't have bitter winters here that often but this one has been a bit cooler than usual.
I can't believe the lady who phoned to say she hadn't eaten for 4 days. I mean why would you starve yourself for that amount of time when surely you have a pot you could heat up some baked beans, spaghetti or even boil potatoes in? Hasn't she heard of a bit of imagination? Goodness me.

The start of the holiday season as arrived, Heart Shaped Glasses Readers! It's the peak time for shopping, stuffing oneself with delicious food, and gathering with loved ones. I'm already in the full swing and have consumed at least four different turkey dinners, pie (Pumpkin and Apple), and a variety of holiday themed side-dishes. I was told multiple times by my children that this is their favorite time of year and they begged and pleaded with me to hold off on unleashing the Christmas music until the day after Christmas.
If you've read my earlier posts through the year, you know that 2017 hasn't been a fantastic year of celebration for me. It's been a bit challenging, from the daily life and writing life perspectives. I've fought depression blues and learning a family member has dementia. That's why I want to use this post to mention a few things I'm thankful for. There's an plus in the small things:
- My health
- The ability to read
- Friends, like my fellow authors on this blog and members of the Passionate Critters Critique Group.
- Netflix – Stranger Things is something I've enjoyed immensely. Now, after binge watching both seasons in the course of a weekend I can finally check out the rest of it.
- Afterglows Publishing – For giving my first full-length contemporary romance series a shot.
- Red Robin – I'm a huge fan of their Tavern Tuesday special.
What are you thankful for?
Tell me in the comments and be automatically entered to win a $25 gift card to either Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Anything counts, from being able to always find matching socks or celebrating 2 days. It's the season of thanks and giving!
*Note: Contest only available to residents of the USA. Contest ends November 30th at 11:59pm PST and winner will be contacted via email to claim their prize.

Today, Clarion is about to unveil two new models, once again demonstrating its know-how, with the FZ709E and the FZ409E from next July.
Both are mechanism-free devices. No more CD. Instead, Bluetooth for the FZ709E, USB / MP3 / WMA / AAC, and for both models, any mechanical distortion has been purely and simply made impossible. Moreover, these units are featured with the BBE-MP function, which restores harmonics lost during digital audio file compression, thereby reproducing the warmth, detail and nuances of the original source. In addition, its 24-bit D/A converter changes the 16-bit digital data to a full 24-bit format for the utmost in resolution and clarity.
Pure sound, but also pure design. Here again, mechanisms are made obsolete. Based on Clarion's continuous quest for the ideal H.M.I. (Human Machine Interface), the OEL display incorporates a unique capacitive sensor operation that provides an advanced user interface. No more knob to command the device: all operations can be performed simply by touching the front panel. As only relevant button icons appear for the task at hand, access is made more direct and responsive.

Cable distribution
The cable distribution allows splitting a flat cable. MultiControl in its initial design (article number S-1101834) allowed connecting a second flat cable as an option for the voltage supply of connected RollerDrive. MultiControl in its new design (article number S-1103563) requires two voltage supplies in principle. If the new design of MultiControl is to be used as spare part in a system that features only flat cables for voltage supply, the cable distribution can be used.
The cable distribution includes two end caps for left and right design to protect the cable ends and to maintain the degree of protection IP54.
Article number: S-1103563

You'll get Roberto Soldado's somersault, Mario Balotelli's flex appeal, and tons more goal celebrations as part of the new package of animations in FIFA 13, which unlocked 30 minutes ago for holders of the EA Sports Season Ticket early weekend program (on Xbox 360 and PS3).
FIFA 13 arrives in North America on Tuesday, Australia on Thursday, and in Europe on Friday.

The warm colours depict the warmth of the light. This painting has textured formed by the paint and also with the use of glass beads. This adds movement to the picture reflecting the movement of a changing sky at the end of a summer day.

Miriam Meek
Miriam had a love for painting and drawing throughout childhood; as a self taught artist she has devoted more time to developing her style of painting following her youngest child starting school. Working with acrylic, her semi abstract paintings are inspired by the sky and it's ever changing colour and movement. Whatever the time of day or the time of year, as the light changes, the sky provides endless ideas for new material. Miriam's paintings gain a depth through layers of paint. Texture is introduced with the use of a palette knife and occasionally the addition of other media. The paintings evolve as each layer is applied. The use of translucent mediums accentuates the light and the paint is allowed to have a freedom of movement ... (see more)

The definitive analysis of the events, ideas, personalities, and conflicts that have defined Obama's foreign policy–with a new afterword for his second term
When Barack Obama first took office, he brought with him a new group of foreign policy advisers intent on carving out a new global role for America in the wake of the Bush administration's war in Iraq. Now the acclaimed author of Rise of the Vulcans offers a definitive, even-handed account of the messier realities they've faced in implementing their policies and the challenges they will face going into the second term.
In The Obamians, prizewinning author and journalist James Mann tells the compelling story of the administration's struggle to enact a coherent and effective set of policies in a time of global turmoil. At the heart of this struggle are the generational conflicts between the Democratic establishment–including Robert Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden–and Obama and his inner circle of largely unknown, remarkably youthful advisers, who came of age after the Cold War had ended.
Written by a proven master at elucidating political underpinnings even to the politicians themselves, The Obamians is a pivotal reckoning of this historic president and his inner circle, and of how their policies may or may not continue to shape America and the world. This edition includes a new afterword by the author on how the Obamians' foreign policy affected the 2012 election and what that means for the future.

Today is a friend's birthday, and I'm baking him a cake. Well, really, I'm baking him a cake and one for Alex and I, because there's nothing worse than baking someone a cake and not being able to taste it and make sure it came out OK. So we'll eat ours for dessert tonight, and deliver his tomorrow. I was going to make some elaborate tart, but opted for this easy cake. I used almond meal and some almond extract, because I was craving something almondy.
Then, because I really wanted some, I made a quick vanilla buttercream. I made two small two layer cakes, and yum! I'm not going to post a buttercream recipe, but there are a billion on the web. Or just beat some butter with a whole mess of powdered sugar and vanilla, maybe a splash of milk.
Raspberry buttermilk cake
From Gourmet, June 2009
1/2 c almond meal
1/2 c rice flour mix
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/2 t baking soda
3/4 t baking powder
pinch salt
1/2 stick butter (4T), softened
2/3 c + 2 T sugar, divided
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 t almond extract
1 egg
1/2 c buttermilk (I used soymilk with 1 T lemon juice)
1 c raspberries
Preheat oven to 400, and lightly grease two loaf pans (or one 8x8 pan). In a small bowl, combine the almond meal, rice flour mix, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cream the butter and 2/3 c sugar together well, then add the vanilla and almond extract, then the egg. Add the flour and buttermilk alternately, starting and ending with the flour in three batches. Divide the batter between the two pans. Place the raspberries around in the batter, then sprinkle with the rest of the sugar. Bake the cakes for 20 minutes, until browned around the edges and firm in the center. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then remove gently to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature.

It's not enough to grudgingly allow staff to telecommute a couple of days a week. The brave new world of work demands a shift of culture and mindset, and managers must be confident enough to liberate their teams, and employees must take on greater responsibility for delivering results. TCB Review columnist Alison Maitland discusses what most executives don't yet understand about the transformative power of agile work, why companies still struggle with gender issues, and what American companies can learn from their European counterparts—questions she also explores in the new edition of her co-authored book Future Work.

The Peerless Prognosticator is ON THE AIR!
This is a special emergency edition of The Prognosticator, and we've convened our crack panel of medicos to give us insight into the breaking…or, "slicing," if you will…story on...
At this hour, Alex Ovechkin lies near death…or maybe his night stand…a victim of a heinous attack by a skate in
Dr. Gregory House…you specialize in difficult diagnoses. What do you make of the description of the wound as "superficial?"
Dr. House: "Well, based on my experience, it's wrong…if those 'doctors' – do they have them in Pittsburgh, or is it just some hillbilly voodoo – had an ounce of diagnostic skill, they'd ask dozens of questions, come up with a bushel of diagnoses, then figure it out…probably about an hour after they started. I'm thinking, 'subdural hematoma.'"
OK…Dr. John Dorian…
J.D., you've probably seen a lot of these kinds of wounds as a young attending physician…what do you make of it?
Dr. Dorian: "Me?...what do I know?...I just do voice over narration and screw up my personal relationships."
Dr. Gil Grissom…you're not an M.D., but this having all the earmarks of a crime scene, you might have some special insight…
Dr. Grissom: "I don't think we can reach any conclusions as to the nature and severity of the wound unless we have some really disgusting graphics of the injury that get deep into the sinews and blood vessels and all that other goop that folks generally find sickening."
Gentlemen…we're still left with the question, what really happened to Alex Ovechkin? Was it merely an accidental skate blade? Was it a conspiracy of Penguins, evidenced by the delay in having any medical personnel attend to Ovechkin while his life was bleeding out of him? What was it?
[All]: "Groin injury!" (laughter)
Well, that seems as good a diagnosis as any, but there is the open question of whether Ovechkin will play this evening against
Speaking of "we'll see," we'll see which teams show up this evening on both sides. Caps fans will remember that the last time these clubs met, on November 8th, the Caps dealt the Senators a surprising…nay, "stunning"…4-1 beating at
It was a meaningful game.
Jason Spezza: "Whenever we lose to a team, anybody, we address it. Because you don't want to lose a second time in a row. We don't want any team to feel like they can beat us. So tomorrow is important."
Mike Fisher: "They kind of caught us a little bit overconfident, or we took them too lightly. But that's not going to happen again."
Well, the Senators might not take the Caps lightly this evening, but it isn't as if the club doesn't have distractions to contend with. Ray Emery was sent home from practice on Friday. An ailment was suspected – either Emery suffering from one, or the Senators suffering from what they feel is an inappropriate attitude. What might be telling is the commentary from team's captain, Daniel Alfredsson:
"If he was our No. 1 goalie right now and we lived and died by him, then it would be a different story. We'd expect more from him at times. (Martin) Gerber is our goalie right and I think Ray's mission right now is if he wants to get back in, he's got to show the coaches he wants to do it. That's where we are at."
Martin Gerber's their goalie right now?...If someone had said last year that a Senator – any Senator – would ever utter those words, they'd have been packed off to the loony bin. But there is Gerber, firmly established as the number one, with a 19-5-2 record, 2.32, .936. He's won six of his last seven decisions, during which he's improved on his season numbers – 6-1-0, 2.15, .932.
Gerber's performance reflects his team's. The Senators are almost as hot coming into this game as they were when they came into the November 8th meeting. They are 9-1-1 in their last 11. They've scored five or more goals five times. Here are the statistical particulars over that stretch:
Goals for/against: 47-25
Power Play: 8/39 (20.5 percent)
Penalty Killing: 39/46 (84.8 percent)
Players of note: Dany Heatley (9-8-17, +17), Jason Spezza (8-12-20, +16), Joe Corvo (+13, injured/day-to-day)
The Caps, meanwhile, are in a sense right back where they started from. On November 8th they were in the midst of a 1-5-1 stretch. At the moment, they are 1-1-3 in their last five games. Even since that evening, the Caps are 8-10-4…marking time in a way. Can they catch lightning (or at least, "Senators") in a bottle again? Well, the boys are 4-2-0 in their last six meetings against
That's why it will be important for Ovechkin to play this evening (11 power play goals for the season, 5-6-11 in nine career games against Ottawa) and for someone like Viktor Kozlov to make his presence felt (11-10-21 and five power play goals in 32 career games against the Senators). If the Caps can make the Senators play defense, it keeps guys like Spezza and Heatley from doing as much damage as they normally might do.
The Senators will be ready, and the Caps don't really have much reason to fear this club, given their recent success (though a healthy respect is required). It will probably be a good game...better than some folks might expect. The Caps started 2007 poorly, with a 3-2 New Year's Day loss to
Caps 4 – Senators 3
And, if you were thinking of getting Kris Letang a belated Christmas present, might we suggest the following…

Request to review ESAPI 2.0 crypto
Call for Review
OWASP is looking for some professional cryptographers and security professionals with expertise in cryptography to donate a small amount of time to review the code and/or documentation handling symmetric encryption in Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) 2.0 before this software package is considered generally available.
The latest release candidate of OWASP's ESAPI for Java (ESAPI-2.0_rc10) has recently been released. This is the fifth complete release candidate that contains the completely revamped symmetric encryption and the first release candidate with completed user documentation describing it.
Many of these changes to ESAPI's symmetric encryption came about as a result of the suggestions of many of you and your fellow cryptographers made on the Metzdowd cryptography mailing list. (See thread "Detecting attempts to decrypt with incorrect secret key in OWASP ESAPI" back in mid-Sept, 2009.) Specifically advice from David A. Wagner and Ian Griggs directly affected several of the detailed design decisions.
The OWASP ESAPI team has only limited experience in applied cryptography, and realizing several of the mistakes in implementing this for ESAPI 1.4, we are interested in getting feedback on the reworked symmetric encryption portion of ESAPI to ensure it is correct and secure this time. Therefore, we are seeking experienced cryptographers as well as anyone else with an interest to comment on the ESAPI implementation and documentation.
In particular, OWASP would like to get feedback on the method used to compute derived keys and to portably serialize the 'CipherText' objects as getting these correct is imperative before people start actually using ESAPI symmetric encryption to store encrypted data. If changes to this method are required later to make it secure, it will almost certainly cause backward compatibility issues with data encrypted with older versions.
Ideally, we would like a few of you with expertise in cryptography to inspect the Java code for correctness and secure implementation. (We remember all too well what happened with the IEEE and WEP when cryptographers were not invited to participate and we would like to avoid any similar issues.)
The links for the ESAPI-2.0_rc10.zip file as well as separate source code are provided below. As you review things, please keep in mind that ESAPI was meant to be a general API. In particular, this means that not all enterprises have the same security policies so flexibility was required with respect to algorithms allowed, allowed cipher modes, permitted padding schemes, etc. Also allowing compatibility with legacy applications was considered important as well. However, we hope to have chosen reasonable defaults for things such that application developers who do not have issues with compatibility with legacy systems can use the ESAPI crypto configuration as-is without the need for tweaking anything other than the master key and master salt properties (which are left unset by default).
To comment on issues to this source code, email comments to Kevin Wall or post an issue on the ESAPI Issues List (see below).
Thanks to those of you have already help provided back in September and any future contribution you are able to make. If you would care to be acknowledged in some future ESAPI documentation for your contribution, please let OWASP know that as well, and if so, whether you only wish your name to be mentioned, or your name and email address.

Note that issue # 81 is a request to review the computeDerivedKey() method in CryptoHelper. You may comment on this issue or add your own if you find defects by first logging in using your Google account.
Known Relevant Issues
The crypto in ESAPI 2.0-rc6 is known to be vulnerable to a "padded oracle attack" which is a type of chosen ciphertext attack designed to reveal plaintext. We believe this is fixed in ESAPI 2.0_rc10 but it would be nice if someone who is a professional cryptographer could confirm this.
The details are provided at ESAPI Google Issues list, issue #120.

Wage jihad, get state. via Creation of new Muslim region moves forward ucanews.com.
President Benigno Aquino today ordered the creation of transition commission that will draft the basic laws of a new Muslim region in Mindanao.
Teresita Quintos Deles, Aquino's adviser on the peace process, said the order "affirms the president's resolve to move forward the peace process… as a strategic initiative for political stability and economic development."Peace through submission? Also known as dhimmitude.
She said Aquino's order also provides a mechanism for "authentic democratic collaboration" in the crafting of proposed laws where the affected people themselves are actively involved.
The executive order creates a 15-member body that will be appointed by the president. The rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is expected come up with a list of candidates from among the people of Mindanao.
The transition body will also recommend to Congress proposed amendments to the constitution.
"The aim is to install [a new Muslim region] through a new organic act as soon as possible in order to have an elected Bangsamoro government by 2016," said Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, head of the government peace panel.
She said the government is committed to the reconstruction of conflict-affected areas and to fast track socio-economic development in the region.
Aquino's order came after the latest round of peace negotiations with Moro rebels ended in a "technical impasse" on Saturday. The MILF said in a statement that no formal agreements have been reached.
Government and rebel negotiators were supposed to finalize details regarding "power-sharing, wealth-sharing and normalization" before the year end after signing a peace deal on October 15.
The MILF said the unresolved question on whether the MILF will lead the transition body was the reason for the impasse.If you want to get caught up on the jihad in the Philippines, see some of these previous posts and videos including U.S. officials meeting with (possibly coaching) the jihadists / rebels.
